1、 Strengthen high-level promotion and macro-guidance
In recent years, with the rapid development of forest and grass ecological construction, China's natural essence and spice economic forest area has grown rapidly, and the industrial scale has continued to expand, forming a batch of unique large-scale production bases of essence and spice, including pine resin, Chinese prickly ash, cinnamon, aniseed, jasmine, rose, osmanthus, cinnamomum camphora, and litsea cubeba. The processing technology has continued to improve, becoming a typical demonstration of ecological beauty and people's wealth. However, in general, the development of essence and spice economic forest industry in China is still in its infancy. The base construction level is not high, the processing and utilization technology is backward, the industrial development mode is extensive, the market influence competitiveness is not strong, and the development space and potential are still great.
The state attaches great importance to the natural essence and fragrance industry and actively promotes the high-quality development of essence and fragrance industry. Our bureau supports the China Forest Products Industry Association to set up the essence and Fragrance Branch; The National Economic Forest Industry Development Guide (2021-2030) was issued to guide the development of several important essence and spice tree species industries; Organize the preparation of National essence and Fragrance Industry Development Guide and Zanthoxylum bungeanum Industry Development Guide. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology vigorously promotes the digital and green transformation of the essence and fragrance industry, promotes the innovation and upgrading of the industry, and guides the Association to formulate the "14th Five Year" essence and fragrance industry development plan. Through the above measures, we will continue to strengthen the macro guidance and top-level design for the development of essence and flavor industry, and promote the healthy development of natural essence and flavor industry.
2、 Improve production process and technology
Essence and fragrance industry involves many fields such as agriculture, forestry, chemical industry, light industry, textile, etc., with high technology content, strong supporting, many related industries, and high added value. The annual sales of relevant flavoring products exceed 10 trillion yuan, which has a special position in the national economy. In 2021, there will be 339 enterprises in China's essence and fragrance manufacturing industry above designated size, with operating revenue of 68.51 billion yuan, up 11.7% year on year, profits of 9.69 billion yuan, up 5.75% year on year, and export delivery value of 182.89 billion yuan, up 12.3% year on year.
Relevant national departments insist on taking multiple measures to improve the production process and technology in the field of essence and fragrance. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology encourages leading enterprises of essence and fragrance to accelerate technological upgrading and production line transformation, increase the integration and digital upgrading of product R&D system, raw material management system, finished product storage system, customer management system, etc., and support the construction of a number of intelligent chemical plants. Our bureau supports eligible enterprises to apply for national key forestry leading enterprises and national forestry industry demonstration parks to promote industrial agglomeration development. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments accelerated the preparation and revision of relevant standards to improve the international level of standards. By the end of 2021, there are 206 standards under the jurisdiction of the National essence, Fragrance and Cosmetics Standards Committee, including 48 national standards and 158 industrial standards. The standard adoption rate of basic general standards and method standards has reached 100%. Except some natural flavors that cannot be adopted due to geographical, climate, variety differences and other factors, others have been standardized against international advanced standards, providing support for the high-level international development of essence and flavor technology and technology.
3、 Increase credit support
To improve the development quality of essence and fragrance industry, we should increase investment through multiple channels and strengthen policy support. Our bureau cooperates with the central finance to support afforestation, forest tending, etc. through forestry reform and development funds, and relevant local governments can include eligible essence raw material forest construction projects into the scope of support within the policy framework. China Development Bank and Agricultural Development Bank of China have launched credit products to support national reserve forest construction, forestry industry development, forest product processing and other credit products in the field of forestry and grass, to support forestry ecological construction and industrial development, including essence and flavor. Eligible essence and flavor projects can apply for credit support according to regulations and procedures.
In the future, our bureau will continue to strengthen communication and coordination with relevant departments, and strive to constantly improve the financial credit support policy for the development of essence and fragrance industry.
